softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameter

Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings.  This is useful for
debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify
possible softlockups earlier.

This patch:
1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s
   (Higher value to disable false positives)
2. Changes the softlockup printk to print the cpu softlockup time
